To calculate the number of host per subnet, first determine the number of network bits, then subtract the number of network bits from 32. This will give the number of host bits available. Finally, calculate 2 to the power of the number of host bits. This is the number of hosts per subnet.
To calculate the number of hosts per subnet, use the following formula: 2^(Number of Host Bits) – 2 = Number of Hosts Per Subnet
For example, if you have a network with 24 bits for the network and 8 bits for the host, use the formula like this: 2^8 – 2 = 254. This means that each subnet will have 254 total hosts.
